The shape of things to come

Over the years we have seen enquiries and requests change.
When I started we were rarely asked for gluten-free cake and never for dairy-free. Now it’s a daily occurrence.
Vegans only started tentatively asking when they saw the words “dairy-free” appear on the menu. Now there seem to be more of them. They’re certainly more confident.
We have responded to most requests as they become more obvious.
We have never been asked if we have WiFi.
Until today.
Today we were asked twice.
I have suggested that, given that we’re a rural, traditional tearoom we should respond by asking “what’s that?”.
We have 4G. For how long will that be enough?
